Disneyland character parade performers in California voted to unionize with Actors' Equity, a labor union representing live theatrical performers, to advocate for better worker safety and wages. This decision was reached after a majority of the performers expressed concerns about their working conditions, including issues related to physical strains and the inability to secure consistent work, as well as the desire for better compensation and benefits. The move to unionize was seen as a step towards addressing these concerns and strengthening the performers' ability to negotiate with Disneyland management.
